an extraordinary book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Season of snows and sins (A Rinehart suspense novel) (Hardcover)
A fascinating book with Swiss rural locale, Parisian politicians and actresses, pretty women, bad men, secret scandal, complex but riveting plot, and lucid and easy prose. This was my first glimpse of this author, suggested in a travel publication for one who likes travel, and picked off a library shelf, and I immediately looked for all her other books. Others don't look as good, but "Death of a Dutch Uncle" was fine. I'm mighty glad I didn't miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a forgotten gem,
This review is from: Season of Snows and Sins (Paperback)
If your reading tastes run to mysteries of the Golden Age (Christie, Tey, Sayers), you will probably love this book. Henry Tibbet of Scotland Yard and his wife, Emmy, are vacationing in Switzerland and choose to see that justice is done in a local case of murder. Moyes is a straightforward writer whose characters are likeable and intelligent, whose plotting is clever, and who understands that there is a moral dimension to crime. A most enjoyable light read!
